   How do I shut down WP for a bit, sort of an under construction phase, without killing it entirely? Delete something? Or enable one of the 400 series errors? Or what? Thanks! :^) gene

   The plugin should have unzipped into a folder containing two files. You need to upload the whole folder to your wp-content/plugins folder on the server.

   Then, you can go to your plugins management page where you need to activate the plugin.

   You should then have a new page under options, where you can control the plugin.

   If any of that doesn't work, please post back with details of what you tried, and where it seemed to go wrong.
